Having changed the recipes, the mails don’t seem to get reparsed and moved on. How do I tell procmail to reparse the whole mailbox?

procmail doesn’t parse your mailbox, it only directs mail that is fed to it to the right place according to its rules. So you have to feed the mails from your inbox to it. This is achieved using formail -s procmail </your/mailspool. With -s, formail will parse its input and invoke the given program for each mail, feeding the mail to the program’s stdin.
